Late To The Party

This shouldn't be news to your ears but if you can't already tell, I am no fashionista. I've never known what the "in" color is, or what the latest trends on the runway are or actually, what a "trend" even is. There are things I see on the hanger and think "Who the eff would wear THAT?" and then see it looking as precious as ever on a girlfriend the next night. Sure-I love buying new clothes but I've never had any desire to "branch out" when it comes to what I wear. Comfort first. Fashion last. Right?!

This, however, has drastically changed and I solely blame you fine, fashion-loving bloggettes for my newest addiction(s).

[[BOOTS]]

Holy boots.
Where the HECK have these been all my life?!
I've bought 3 new pair in the past 2 weeks.
I'm pretty sure Beau is about ready to strangle me.
Rest assured, hun, your wife is THE biggest budget shopper eva!

The proof is in the pudding.

Black, suadish-material, boot things.

Yes. The leg warmers are from the grocery store.
No shame.

Knock off "wellies"
You can't tell from the pic but they actually have a gator skin texture.

Gray heeled boots
3 pairs of boots under $70? How can he be mad at that?!

And since I know you're just loving these thunder thighs of mine, we're gonna need a drum roll for this next outfit...

WHY, you might ask, am I so excited about this???

Oh. Because that would be my FIRST pair of skinny jeans you're lookin' at!!
Dark wash skinny jeans- $11.88 @ Wal-Mart.

Yes. I said "WAL-MART", people.
 
Let me do some 'splainin.

I've never done so much as to even try on a pair of skinny jeans (nor did I think I would even try on ANY pair of jeans in Wal-Mart) but here I am with all these boots and nothing to wear with them but tights. Crapola.

[Insert last minute Wal-Mart run on Thanksgiving morning.]

Grabbed the first pair of skinny jeans I saw, tried those babies on, convinced Beau they would be my "trial pair" (you know...to see if I would actually wear/like them) and made a mad dash for the register.

I am not above a pair of $12 skinny jeans from Wal-Mart.
Not one bit. (Unless they totally fall apart the first time they're washed.)

So there! I may be a teeny bit late to the party (by like 2 years) but I'm here now!
Boots and skinny jeans it is and I am L-O-V-Eing it!!


From here on out I'm gonna need you girls to keep me in the loop to see that I'm not 2 years late on the next big trend. (Or maybe not. My wallet and/or husband may not approve of this.)

  11. Your boots are all so cute!! I'm pretty late to the 'party' myself....I've still managed to put off buying a pair of brown boots because I don't like how any of them look on me. I'm pretty convinced that if someone just got me some I'd wear them and get used to them....and start to like them. Hahaha anyway, love your fab finds lady! :)

  15. I bought my first pair or skinny jeans last year and leggings a few years prior to that. I Really don't know how you haven't lived in leggings. Seriously God's gift to women. SO COMFORTABLE! In fact, I wore them all weekend except during the day on Saturday I actually put jeans on.

    Those are some amazeball deals on the boots ... high five from the BB! I may have to go to Target to get those grey boots. Or possibly ask Santa for them.

    You're cute as ever!

  19. You look very fashionable to me! I have recently found an obsession with tights and boots, too. However, I haven't convinced myself yet that I can pull off skinny jeans...I just wear my bootcut jeans tucked into the boots.

    Guess it looks like I'll be shopping for some boots now thanks to you (even though i have like 10 pair)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Ham hocks?! SERIOUSLY?! I could strangle you! lol ;)

    No but seriously, you look great. And it's totally okay to go to Walmart. Everyone is so pretentious these days. Yes, it's a terrible experience but if you need something really cheap and in a bind, it's a great place to go! Ha. Love all of the boots! I also agree that jeggings are freaking awesome when it comes to boots.

  41. ummmm please don't refer to yourself as ham hocks or thunder thighs because you so aren't. me on the other hand? a little more ham hock-y than you my friend. and you'll be seeing me in a week. so please just pretend you think i'm skinny, haha. oh, I have one pr of skinny jeans, that I actually like more than I used to....it's hard to find them that aren't too long!!!
